A legal dispute spanning over two years was a traumatic experience.I was lucky enough to have Ms Mali Smith at Manak Solicitors on my side. She was professional, attention to detail, a good listener (the best I have met with) and was easily approachable. Her diary was a perfection, I never had to follow up.The two words missing in her vocabulary were NO and CAN'T.I cannot thank Ms Smith enough for being a brilliant solicitor and an amazing person.

I had a problem with a commercial lease and break clause, which involved a business partner and a landlord in a shop premises in Bexleyheath.A document was made for me to sign before i left the lease and shop which i didn't understand too well. After contacting Surrinder at manak solicitors, he strongly advised me to not sign it as there was a clause in there that would still make me a guarantor for the lease over the next 7 years. Which in effect could of ruined me years down the line.He walked me through each step and told me what had to be done, it took a while to complete over 6 months but this was due to problems with the landlord and their solicitor. Surrinder and his team handled my case in a very professional manner, getting me out of the lease liability completely with any issues i may of had with my ex business partner.I cant thank them enough, if i hadn't sought their legal advice and used their services i would be in a very different position right now.Many thanks to all the team at The Gravesend and Orpington Branches.

I received Manak's details from MSE, so was confident that the service would be good, and we were not disappointed. Nosheen is very friendly, helpful and informative, and took us through the process of drafting our wills very efficiently. Nosheen answered all of our questions with professionalism and courtesy. We had a lot of questions, to make sure everything we were advised, was what we actually needed and Nosheen provided this. No matter how silly you may think your question is, please ask. I'm glad I did. Thank you Nosheen and the team. Dawn

I recently engaged the services of this firm to help in a legal matter. The solicitor Nosheen was very helpful and offered sage advice in what was a very tricky situation.

I have used manak solicitors for conveyancing on both selling and purchasing properties! ! I have found that they have a friendly and helpful attitude whilst remaining very professional in their attention to detail and accuracy when supplying information and feedback! Keeping one aware at all times !which helps to ease the frustration !when buying or selling properties . knowing what is going on and keeping your client informed is key to good conveyancing and this is what Jasdeep Singh Jandu, and his assistant charley manage to achieve. I was told by the Estate agent Mr Griffiths that they were the best! That is why I chose manak to do my conveyancing in the first place, and I am very happy I did.Ken mills! !

After looking around prices for conveyancing I decidie to try Manak Solicitors. Reception staff are knowledgable and friendly and gave me a quoted print out that honestly in comparison to other solicitors was very reasonable. Once Manak started my conveyencing, any issues I had were dealt with appropriately and in a timely manner and were reported to me as soon as they received the information. When chasing up any issues with my Solicitor I would always get an email reply same day and if required a telephone call informing me of situation and how things stand. Booking appointments to see my Solicitor was easy through recptionist and had to wait no longer than a a few days. All in all I feel I was dealt with accordingly and that all the people I dealt with were friendly and had a good understanding of any questions I may have and all for a reasonable price, will certainly be using again in the future.
